Myth system

Myth system

A Myth system is a set of several different which are related through shared features and by links that describes the transformation from one to another.

In the seminal works of structuralist anthropology "The Raw and the Cooked", Lévi-Strauss asserted that to get a real understanding of a myth, is useless to consider it in isolation, but instead it must be analyzed as part of an entire myth system. The key for analisys resides in the relationships and transformations between myths, rather than the details of individual myths. Such work by Lévi-Strauss set out the basic principles of a structural approach to mythology. [Claude Lévi-Strauss 1964] [Danny Yee 1993]
